Discovery of a halogen-bonded ternary cocrystal of 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene with pyrazine and triphenylphosphine sulfide has revealed a complex landscape of multicomponent phases, all achievable by mechanochemical interconversion. The observed solid-state reaction pathways were explained by periodic density-functional calculations and comprehensive intermolecular interaction analysis, supported by dissolution calorimetry measurements.

The use of self-assembling peptide hydrogels in the treatment of spinal cord and brain injuries, especially when combined with adult neural stem cells, has shown great potential. To advance tissue engineering, it is essential to understand the effect of mechanochemical signaling on cellular differentiation. The elucidation of the molecular interactions at the level of the neuronal membrane still represents a promising area of investigation for many drug delivery and tissue engineering applications.

Polycyclic aromatic diradical(oid) molecules are attracting significant attention because of their unique electronic and magnetic properties as well as their applications as functional materials. While diradical(oid) molecules bearing five-membered rings have been extensively investigated, those bearing seven-membered rings are relatively fewer. Herein, we report the synthesis of azapentabenzodihomocorannulene dication and diradical molecules.

Article Synopsis
- Oxygen is crucial for biomolecular structures, but its low natural abundance complicates the use of O NMR in research.
- A new method has been developed for quick and cost-effective O-labeling of specific amino acids in recombinant proteins, using a fast synthesis process with a bacterial expression system.
- This technique has successfully produced O-labeled proteins from various organisms, enhancing O NMR's accessibility and providing valuable insights into protein structures and interactions at the molecular level.

Investigation of the oxidation pathway of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI), one of the main biosynthetic precursors of the brown-to-black skin and hair melanin pigments, represents a promising approach for the elucidation of the structure of these pigments in biological systems. We report herein the exploration of DHI oxidation chemistry under conditions so far poorly investigated, i.e.

Cell size regulation arises from physical manifestations of cell proliferation and metabolic pathways. On one hand, coordination between these systems yields a constant cell size over generations to maintain cell size homeostasis. However, active regulation of cell size is crucial to physiology and to establish broad variation of cell sizes within an individual organism, and is accomplished via physical and biochemical pathways modulated by myriad intrinsic and extrinsic cues.
